The World Premiere of 5 Lost at Sea was a sell out screening at the 2009 Melbourne International Film Festival. The 700 seat theatre attracted some of Melbourne’s most loved personalities including Jules Lund, Hamish Blake and Sam Cavanagh. Directors Martin and Schmidt took the opportunity to acknowledge the invaluable creative input from Screen Australia’s Karin Altmann, Consultant Producer Fiona Cochrane, Composer Patrick Robertson and Editor Ken Sallows. Post Premiere drinks were held at the Carlton Club where the filmmakers and audience made good use of the term ‘Sunday Session’.
